Day 46 of 365 days. I actually had a half baked idea of doing this a couple weeks ago, but I never really knew where to go with it. Then randomly, sadandbeautiful went and made her own version last week which impressed me quite a bit and made me want to make sure that I…
Day 45 of 365 days. As much as I like the 400D better than my old G3, I gotta say that its a lot easier to take a self portrait with the older camera. I never really used the LCD screen when photographing other stuff, but it was always useful if I wanted to shoot…
Day 38 of 365 days. I had been wanting to take a shot featuring all of my tattoos at some point and when Pi c’s suggested a birthmark challenge it seemed like as good a time as any. These are the various symbols that adorn my body, the dates I got them, and what they…
Day 31 of 365 days. And so I’ve last a whole month. Only 11 more to go. Some of its been hard. Some easy, but its definitely been fun. And this is the fourth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy. I actually had this mirror idea, or versions of it much earlier in the…
Day 27 of 365 days. So this was something I have been wanting to try since I did the Sun Sword picture a few days ago. Kind of a Human Torch inspired thing. The final result here wasn’t actually what I was originally envisioning, but I kind of like the effect. More or less anyway.…
Day 22 of 365 days. Ok, the fact that I’ve spent the last 3 hours since midnight doing this and I’m so excited about it is just a testament to how geeky I really am at heart. *sigh* So I actually had this idea about 3 days ago when I was predicting the end of…
Day 20 of 365 days. I didn’t know for sure what I wanted to do with today’s photo, but I knew I didn’t want it to be sleep related. About 3 or 4 days into this whole process, I had the idea that perhaps when it was done I might put together a coffee table…
Day 19 of 365 days. This is kind of another high concept piece. I had this idea yesterday, when I woke up and took the second half of my self-portrait. There I had before and after sleep, but how did that transition take place. To find out I did a little experiment. What we have…
Day 16 of 365 days. So I walk up to the local cigarette store to take a picture in front of the "MAVERICK" brand cigarettes sign. Something I’ve been meaning to do for a week now. And then as I’m walking back home and walking down the hill I come up with this other idea…
Day 10 of 365 days. And back to silly artistic wankery. I actually had this idea a couple days ago, but it wasn’t til tonight that I really felt like going into my basement and playing a solo game of pool. There were a couple shots that I really liked and I couldn’t make up…
Day 8 of 365 days. I can’t believe I’m in the second week and still going strong. I have a wrestling show today and I’ve been wanting to find some way to take a picture of myself while I’m in the ring, but I haven’t figured out a good way to do it. Sure, I…
Day 6 of 365 days. I really liked this idea but it never took off the way i wanted it to. I started working on it too late and I worked on it up to 11:59 and then stopped because I like to keep it real, dammit. In any case, the effect is neat and…
Day 2 of my experimenting with 365 days. I have now created a Flickr pool where many other people are trying the project as well. If you’re interested, please see 365 days. I was sitting around thinking "what am i gonna do today?" and I had this idea based on drawings of the superhero Captain…
so while browsing flickr, I ran across this photo by stephenpoff. I liked it and then started looking at his photostream and then realized that since the 1st of this year he has taken a self-portrait every day and hopes to do the same every day for a year. I immediately decided that I had to do the same.
This is the first one. Taken on the balcony of my hotel room in Warren, PA where Steph and I are vacationing.
